The assembly includes a tubular member (41,42) and an inner member (43,44), telescopically inserted into the tubular member (41,42) and extending within the tubular member (41,42) over a part of the length of the tubular member (41,42). The frame assembly further includes at least one element (51-54) for transferring a longitudinally directed force from an end of the tubular member (41,42) to at least one first support surface (47,48) fixed relative to the inner member (43,44).
